Chapter 226: Chapter 225: Jealous? The water in the swimming pool was crystal clear, and one could easily see everything around with eyes opened. Sunlight pierced through the surface, refracting beneath the waters, casting speckled spots of light across the pool floor. It felt like falling into a galaxy of stars. Xiao Manxuan fluttered her limbs underwater, but she was too preoccupied to admire the beautiful scenery. However, getting the little girl to quickly overcome her fear of deep water was the priority, so Lin Tian didn’t surface either. Instead, he gestured in front of her underwater until the little girl nodded, indicating that she had calmed down, and then Lin Tian kicked his legs and floated upwards. "Huff..." Xiao Manxuan gasped for air as soon as she emerged from the water, her cute face still showing signs of fright. But when she settled down, she realized she was clutching Lin Tian’s neck tightly, clinging onto him like an octopus. "You... stay away from me," Xiao Manxuan said instinctively, her fair cheeks instantly blushing with red dawn. While the little girl said this, her hands held on to Lin Tian tightly, and he couldn’t help but respond with a wry smile, I can stay away, but your hands are still holding on. He tread water ceaselessly, raising his hands to show that he had let go, and only then did Xiao Manxuan realize that she was not hugging a piece of wood but Lin Tian’s neck. She loosened her grip and attempted to move back, but she forgot she was still in the water and didn’t have solid footing, starting to sink again. "Ah..." Xiao Manxuan let out a scream, frantically clinging onto Lin Tian’s neck again. Looking around, she realized they were already about ten meters from the bank and pouted, "You jerk, you did that on purpose, didn’t you?" "Would you believe me if I said it was to help you conquer your fear of deep water?" Lin Tian didn’t bother to argue, he was telling the truth, but in such a situation, it looked more like he was taking advantage of the moment, and no girl would believe such a lofty excuse. Unexpectedly, Xiao Manxuan looked up at him with wide eyes and said earnestly, "I believe you. I know you want me, this clueless rich girl, to learn more things, so even if one day you’re not by my side, I will have an additional skill to save my life." You little girl, every time you speak seriously, you make me want to cry, who said you don’t understand anything? You do understand a lot, it’s just that you choose not to speak up to keep others from worrying, Lin Tian was momentarily speechless. "Hehe, don’t be too touched." The little girl chuckled, her eyes curving into lovely crescents, her lips turning up slightly, her plump lips and long eyelashes still glistening with sparkling droplets, reflecting the captivating light under the sunshine. My goodness, this scene is too beautiful. Could the little girl be an angel from heaven? No, that’s not right; we’re in Huaxia, it should be a fairy descending to earth, Lin Tian thought, as he mechanically tread water, unable to take his eyes off Xiao Manxuan. Moved by a strange impulse, Lin Tian was about to steal a kiss, but the little girl suddenly put up her hand to block him, her face flushed with shyness, and then she whispered softly, "There... there are so many people here." Every crucial moment gets cut short, how inhumane, Lin Tian felt a wave of frustration. Hey, wait - the little girl says there are too many people here, does she imply it’s okay if there aren’t as many? "Cough cough..." A fit of coughing interrupted Lin Tian’s boundless daydreams. He turned around, annoyed, ready to see who had the audacity to interrupt his budding romance. "What are you looking at, unhappy about it?" Zhang Lingyu tread water leisurely, gazing at him with an air of someone who came to save the ignorant young girl. "Zhang Lingyu, your gaze is quite inappropriate. I’m seriously teaching Xiao Manxuan how to swim in deep water. Do you have a problem with me as a coach?" Lin Tian was not the least bit intimidated by the little girl, after all, it’s not you I’m kissing, mind your own business. "Sister Xiao, come here, I’ll teach you, don’t let the big pervert take advantage of you." Zhang Lingyu glanced at Lin Tian and pulled Xiao Manxuan away. With her saying this, Xiao Manxuan had no choice but to leave Lin Tian, the lecherous swimming coach. A girl’s modesty made it awkward for her to stay any longer. "Lingyu, are you jealous because I’m teaching Manxuan how to swim? Feeling jealous, right, heh heh?" Lin Tian chuckled with a particularly annoying air. But for some reason, Lingyu’s face flushed with embarrassment, and then she fiercely slapped the water’s surface, splashing Lin Tian’s head, and huffed, "Jealous my foot, as if I’d be jealous of you. You’re so full of yourself, go drink our bathwater, hmph!" Having said that, she pulled Manxuan and swam away, leaving Lin Tian drenched. "Can’t even take a joke, so stingy." Lin Tian touched his nose, not understanding why Lingyu reacted so strongly. However, what Lingyu said wasn’t totally unreasonable since after their swimming, this was to some extent, their bathwater as well. On the other hand, this is also my bathwater, Lin Tian thought rather pointlessly. Feeling bored alone, Lin Tian swam a couple of laps and then ran ashore to bask in the sun. One doesn’t always get the chance to enjoy a leisurely afternoon like this. As for Lingyu and her friends, it seemed they were hooked on swimming, staying in the water constantly. Suddenly, Lin Tian had a wild thought that the chests of these three little girls developed so well—could it be from swimming regularly? Some experts have said that swimming can promote the development of the chest. Lying on the rattan chair, Lin Tian began musing over these notions he considered profound. When Lin Tian, with his head in a fog, was almost asleep, an annoying voice reached his ears. "Hey, look at the three beautiful little girls. Why are you swimming without any men to accompany you? How about we all swim together?" "Beautiful ladies, aren’t you lonely without any handsome guys to swim with?" "Haha..." Lin Tian leapt up and saw four men swimming towards Manxuan and her friends. They were saying cheeky things and laughing smugly. These men were the ones Rossi had followed: one bald, one with long hair, and the other two dyed yellow and red. They dared to come here and make trouble—damn it, I wasn’t even looking for you guys, and you show up here looking for trouble. Ready to burst, Lin Tian dove into the water and with a powerful stroke and re-emerged in front of the three girls. "Who are you?" Baldy almost jumped in surprise, asking in an annoyed and embarrassed tone. "Yeah, do you know who our friends are? Dare to disrupt our fun. You asking for trouble?" The one with long hair was even more arrogant, pointing a finger at Lin Tian’s nose, cursing. "Damn it, I hate men with long hair the most, what the hell are you trying to be?" Lin Tian moved his arms through the water like a tuna, charging at the man with long hair. Before he could react, Lin Tian grabbed the long-haired guy’s shoulders and hoisted him out of the water, tossing him with a "whoosh" onto the poolside. Long Hair landed heavily on the hard ground, unable to stand or even grunt. The other three were petrified. It took serious strength to throw a grown man weighing over a hundred pounds five or six meters away, especially in the water. They shivered together and frantically began swimming back.
